Can anyone comment on the 120 Hz refresh rate? How does live action and live sports perform on this Viera?

Friend the frequency of the images is super fast super fluid I'm impressed when I see football games and action movies when I live is like you're there and let me correct you is 360Hz not 120Hz thing is that by panasonic through a new technology makes three panels forming synchronize 120Hz 360Hz in full. I just I have a month with this 55-inch TV is perfect and I have no complaints the contrast is good internet applications Llas everything is great you can play well on this TV and control it easily with my SGS3 beyond belief

Fast moving video, like sports or racing, is handled very well. I noticed no motion blur when I was watching college football because it uses backlight scanning which triples the refresh rate to 360hz to compensate for fast moving objects. I hope this helps.

Looks great. Soap Opera effect is noticeable only when watching movies usually, but this can be turned off easily in settings.Otherwise live tv is smooth and looks great!I love this TV.

I use the Viera to review rugby match video in HD as well as international and pro matches. It has performed extremely well, I would recommend it highly. Visitors always comment about the picture quality and ask about the brand.

Unless your a real techie, the 120hz refresh is fine. I rate it a 9 out of 10! True the 240is definately an improovement but stil to pricey for me. The 120hz referh pic is great! Ocasionally you can see it too slow and wish you had the 240hz. However not enough to justify the cost.

Hi D.E. Soliday.In regards to your question about live action sports/live action... from what I experienced with the TV is that the TV handles it quite well. Don't get me wrong, it won't look like you're right on the field as some TVs make it seem (not saying this about the quality) the motion interpolation lacks on sports quite a bit.. not too much. Keep in mind this is a budget TV so you should not expect it to look like the ones that are priced on the higher end. But overall, it makes watching sports very fun especially with the 3D turned on. I hope I answered your question.

It's not really 120Hz, panasonic has "360 Backlight Scanning" that helps with dynamic scenes.

I watch all major sports and I don't have an issue with the refresh rate at all, there aren't any blurs during the games, but sometimes it happens when you watch movies on movie channels

"Film mode" enabled (on) activates the TV's motion blue technology. It will be under this setting that full 120Hz would be used by the tv. If you feel the standard isn't 120hz. Personally, I think the TV uses the 120hz and then film mode enhances that. 120hz is not the greatest for sports/movies with fast action to begin with.

I purchased the 650 2 months ago and I love it. The 120Hz refresh rate is not a problem because i only receive a 60Hz refresh rate signal from DTV. My DVD player (which is not a Blue Ray player) doesn't even put out a 120Hz signal. The first week of watching the TV is strange because of the clarity. It takes some getting used to but once used to it you do you will never go back. The only downside to the 650 is the glossy black finish framing the LCD screen. Minor dents on the frame appear with the right light and can be annoying. I highly recommend the 650 to anyone looking for a new LCD.

I'm pretty sure that game mode is still 120hz. However there is a review that states the lag on the TV is less than 10ms.

Great TV so far. Refresh rate is 240Hz but it really isn't much difference from 120. I play Xbox One on there. Very clear so with PS4 graphics will look even better

Generally speaking, the refresh rate is not that important. Scenes with smooth motion and panning will generally look cleaner on a 120hz set, because the TV is successfully able to insert new frames (your video signal is not 120hz, but about 30hz. The difference is made up by the TV analyzing the frames and making new ones that go in between the original frames). Scenes with very choppy motion typically look worse (because the frames inserted by the TV don't match up correctly, making the image sharper and crisper-seeming but jerky and jittery). This is not a 120hz TV, though. If that feature is important to you, you're going to have to look at the true TV line (T260HD is really a monitor with TV features) I have a T260HD, and if you are going to use it primarily as a monitor, but also as a TV, it's pretty good. I've owned monitors that looked better, and I own a TV that looks better, but this unit is a good meld of the two. It has a very limited ideal viewing angle, and some problems with banding and bleeding at the edges, but it looks pretty good and it has all of the TV inputs. If you're looking for a TV that you will use as a monitor only occasionally, buy a TV that has a bunch of HDMI ports, and just get a DVI-&gt;HDMI adapter for your PC. Samsung's got several very nice TVs at 32" (the alternative you were considering). If you want the 120hz, the LN32B650 or LN32B640 will do it for you. If you don't care, the LN32B550 is a very nice display as well (I have the 40" B550, and I like it). Samsung doesn't have many high quality options in the 26" size (they're all 720p only, except for the monitor-TVs like this one)

Take a look at http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6449_7-6792632-1.html as it explains there's a lot more to the 120Hz TVs than just the 120Hz. The real change is in the anti-judder feature which is a personal preference issue. The article is 1.5 yrs old but worth a read.

60 hz, usually they make it a front page thing that the monitor is 120hz since its a selling factor.

This particular Vizio is a 120 Hz set which is fine for most viewing. The 240 Hz models gives you a bit more performance in fast action viewing as in sports and gaming. In any case you can't go wrong with a Vizio. Best bang for the buck for sure!

I have watched 3D movies, Epic, Madagascar 3 and fewDocumentaries. I did not see any problems being 120 hz. Even on ESPN HD , picture quality is great. I will recommend it highly to anyone who want a big screen and 3D experience .

The input feed is always 60Hz, and that's what it's telling you. 120Hz is the refresh rate internal to the TV, so your TV up-converts from the 60Hz internally.

The only thing you can bank on is that the true refresh rate is 120, twice the 60 rate on some models that I've seen, that were still decent TV's. In the settings on the TV you can turn on an option "Clear Motion Refresh (CLR)" which Samsung claims will simulate a refresh rate of 240. As with all smoke and mirrors, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I haven't found any issues with blurring during fast action sequences and I don't even have the CLR option turned on. The CLR can produce a "soap opera" like effect. After owning this TV for a year, my only remorse was not buying an 80" set. Bigger always seems better, although I have friends with the Samsung UN55ES8000 55" 3D model and they love those TV's, too. If you're patient, you could find one of those sets for $1500 on the web. The best new price I've seen for the UN65EH6000 has been $1299 at BrandSmart.

Actually, I disagree. I've had this tv for about a year now and every channel/input displays 60Hz. I have yet to see 120 Hz displayed as the frequency. Perhaps its only displaying 60 but utilizing 120? Just my two cents, sir.

240 hz refreshes much faster than 120 so better for action or sports. No one is broadcasting in 4K maybe in the future but for now save your money.

Considering they keep uping the Hz we may always be chasing the speed. The HDTV's from just last year were 60Hz. The higher end one's were 120Hz and now we are at 240Hz. I am going for the size. I hope I am making the right choice.

120hz standard, but 240hz enhanced. Excellent picture, I leave it at 120hz for most viewing; I have not found a need to switch to 240hz. Granted, I did check it out at 240 but find 120 is better for regular shows/movies. Haven't watched football yet... we'll see ;-)
